I can't call any of Tolstoy's work "depressing". He is very inspiring.
Bentley Murphy
An artist of the floating world, Never let me go and The remains of the day, all by Kazuo Ishiguro, 1984 by George Orwell, Brave new world by Aldous Huxley, All quiet on the western front by Erich Maria Remarque. All of those are books about different things, but all are sad in some way.
Jason Green

Death of Ivan Ilyich is really sad. The Metamorphosis by Kafka is depressing too.

Indeed, but Frankenstein by Junji It and Frankenstein Alive, Alive are great. Frankenstein Alive, Alive is more depressing than the original book.
